What are some bionics you've always wanted to see?

I think, an an automatic cbm reloader would be cool, something like… you need connect an thing to your hand (like robocop basicaly) then your weapon (mostly for bolt action and shotgun, revolvers) will be reloaded automaticaly. (Yep, we everyone hate pressin r 8 freakin times)

[QuietCoyote]

I think the futuristic guns has something like this, autoloader mags I think it’s called, and doesn’t require anytime to reload your weapon

[QuietCoyote]

1. You could alternatively use a flashlight/headlamp and flash it every so often to look for minefield sign.
2. Heavy Power armor? Jk, this sounds pretty cool, maybe 500 p/u like the probability drive and quantum tunneler.
3. You could alternitively just use “C” to scream, which will scare the moose, this alternitevly could work with most animals, otherwise just drop a chunk of meat every so often so the animal takes less interest in you.
4. Idk, sounds pretty cool, but it doesn’t really make sense for being any use pre-cataclysm…

Something that gives you minus encumbrance (-5?) at low-ish power cost. Something like… uhhh… skin with air/gas ventilation. Just pulling stuff out of my rear here but the theory would be that you vent SOMETHING out of your skin to give you more room to move under whatever you may be wearing. Probably best to limit it to body parts. Torso, arms and legs. All separate CBMs.
Could have a slight stamina penalty.

Basically something to help you out when there’s no time to be fumbling with gear. No effect if you have no encumbrance.

Personally, I enjoy the realistic reloading.

[Tru3insanity]

Well yea i could just check for the signs. I can admit to a certain amount of laziness on my part but sometimes i actually want to go into a place with mines. Theres a few interesting locations that have them and having a cybernetic option to guarantee trap detection would be nice.

I mean sure theres plenty of low tech options you could do instead. Like i can wear three blankets or some thermal electric suits when im freezing way down in a lab instead of using climate control but the point of cbms is to make it so i dont have to.

As for the suspended animation i can think of a ton of pre-cataclysm uses for this. Say a mineshaft collapses, or a nuclear bomb goes off and you happen to survive. You can suspend yourself until help arrives. Basically any disaster survival scenario really.

Like when a hurricane wipes out a town. Most people dont die in the storm itself. They die after cuz they have no clean water, food, shelter or proper medical care.

Reminds me of something from Trigun, later on in the series Vash gets his gear replaced with an upgraded set, part of it looks and acts like a hydraulic/springloaded speedloader tube built into his coat.

Speaking of Trigun, I wouldn’t mind seeing a CBM that replaces an arm that works like Vash’s one with a gun built into the forearm that either folds out for use or has the the hand fold under to a grip/trigger set

[mr_sep]

I’ve upgraded Terranian Sonar CBM to detect mines. Enjoy (when it gets merged).

[mr_sep]

You mean THIS?

[crazykiddeath]

Mmmm, interesting, It’s definitely in the same vein and something I’ll want to give a try. Vash has a pistol at first (I think) and after that arm gets trashed he upgrades to a submachine gun so it’s similar but not exactly the same. I can’t imagine a sub machine gun being allowed but do you think a 9x19mm/.22 pistol would be possible/be balanced?

[crazykiddeath]

Was just poking around in the files and I think I’ve found the relative JSON files, three seperate enteries in the bionics, bionics (items) and bio (weapon) files?

Would you mind too much if I did some experimenting with pistols? I’d like to see what is possible but I’d basically be ripping off your code and editing it.

[mr_sep]

Yes it would be balanced, but you’d have to consider ammo capacity constraints when developing the "fake"gun for the CBM. There is not much space in a forearm to fit a large magazine, but integrated low capacity round mag might fit, especially for the small .22 cartridge.

And I don’t mind. I rip chunks of code all the time.

[crazykiddeath]

I was considering making it have an “intergrated magazine” with the trade off being reload time, basically making it impractical to reload in combat but I’m not sure if that is possible yet, I’ve just started a bit of editing to see what works. I’ve never modded guns before so it’s trail and error stuff at the mo.

internal fridge that keeps food in your inventory cold/frozen maybe have an option to select temperature level and a volume cap

[mr_sep]

How could it be internal and cool food stored externally? Shenanigans.

[draghi]

same way items are stored in pockets/backpacks

[mr_sep]

That is genuinely inventive. I’ve always thought of internal storage as some hole in a body, not a pocket under the skin. Interesting concept.

[draghi]

i meant actual POCKETS, as inventory isn’t split into individual pockets.

internal storage would be a hole, maybe also add skin pockets for small items/concealment?
my idea was an internal fridge similar to internal storage but with freezing added at cost of power, and maybe have a separate storage/inventory. i dunno maybe activate the bionic and you’d get a menu similar to holstering weapons, where you can choose to either turn on/off, set temperature level, or access storage that opens some transfer screen between player inventory/fridge contents.

i’m from romania and people here drink tons and there’s this meme truck mechanic man and one day i sketched a cyborg version of him and though of an internal fridge with a glass door inside his stomach lol for keeping beer cool!

[Tru3insanity]

Something about “Skin pockets” just gives me the heebie jeebies… no clue why. Maybe ive been watching too much monsters inside me lol

opens cyberpunk 2020 reference book
well, i have very long list here…
